Claims for non-earner and medical benefits dismissed as applicant's injuries fell within the Minor Injury Guideline.
The applicant sought statutory accident benefits following a motor vehicle accident, claiming entitlement to a non-earner benefit, medical and rehabilitation benefits, and assessment costs outside the Minor Injury Guideline (MIG).
The Tribunal found the applicant's subjective reports of impairment inconsistent with surveillance footage and objective medical evidence.
Preferring the respondent's expert assessments, the Tribunal concluded the applicant did not suffer a complete inability to carry on a normal life and that her injuries were predominantly minor.
Consequently, the claims for a non-earner benefit, treatment plans outside the MIG, interest, and a special award were dismissed.
